What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on the long-term clinical outcomes of patients who have undergone surgery for lumbar spine disorders. It monitors the effectiveness of two spinal fixation systems, the SmartMIS and ASA systems, through a series of questionnaire assessments. Patients will complete evaluations preoperatively and at multiple postoperative intervals to assess pain levels, disability, and fusion rates. The study aims to enroll 120 subjects over a duration of four years.
